CHICAGO'S BUILDERS.
The Convention Adopts an Address to
All the Unions

ALI OLlO OlllOlI5s
CHICAGO, June 30.-The National Fedora
ton of Trades council reassembled this
morning. The reading of the circular to be
distributed to all the organizations of the
building trades in the United States was the
first thing that claimed the attention of the
delegates. Briefly it announced that the
time was at hand when it was a necessity
that journeymen should be thoroughly or
ganiZed under a national council to look
after the interests of the various crafts in
the building trades and by wise supervision
in cases of wages or other difficulties
to exercise an influence in directing
the course of events to solution favorable
to workers, by keeping them all fully in
formed of the situation and the necessity of
the cases. The circular then detailed the
steps to be taken at the preliminary meeting
at Chicago on the third Tuesday in Septem-
Der and appealed to all organizations to
send delegations to that meeting. The ad-
dress was adopted.
THE RESOLUTIONS:
The following resolutions were adopted
unanimously:
Resolved, That In the event of the Chicago
committee of the Bricl;layers not succeeding in
making a satisfactory settlement with the Mas
ter Builders Association, that this council de.
clare the Chicago difficulty an additional cause,
ana appoint q committee on dfDltrdJlOn 10 meet
bosses, power to appointSsuch committee rest
ing in the hands of the President in session or
after adjournment.
Resolved, That in the event of the failure of
such committee to settle troubles satisfacto-
rily, the President, with the concurrence of the
Executive Board, make an appeal to the build
ing trades organizations Of the United States
asking support, financial and moral, for the
building trades organizations of Chicago.
The business of the convention was now
practically over, and it adjourned until the
third Sunday in September, when meeting
will be held in Chicago.

SOME LEADING FEATURES.
No Need of Irrigation, and Extremely
Early Maturity of Fruit

No Need of Irrigation, and Extremely
Early Maturity of Fruit.
There is one advantage enjoyed by the
Vaca district that is almost if not quite as
important as the early maturity of fruit,
and that is the fact that owing to the
character of the soil, even on the highest
and steepest hillsides, irrigation is not
needed in producing any kind of fruit. 1t
is the experience of all the fruit-growers
there for the past 25 years that irrigation
would be an injury instead of benefit.
That experience has shown that the soil
will grow trees or vines of the largest and
most uniform size, and that when they ar
rive at a bearing age they will be loaded
with all the fruit that the tree can stand
under, and that the
FRUIT Is OF UNCOMMON SIZE,
And of the finest favor. If there is any
fault with the trees of that section it is in
overbearing rather than otherwise There
is a necessity for thinning fruit each year,
which is quite an item of expense to the
orchardist.
The advantage of soils that require no
irrigation is an exceedingly important one,
and it is enjoyed by but few sections on
this coast. 1t carries with it the further
fact that the fruit is solid, fine-favored,
and bears shipment to the most distant
points, and keeps well after its arrival at
destination. For this purpose and for can
ming it commands higher price than IT.

of Naca valley. The high Coast Range
rises to an altitude of $500 or 1000 feet
to the west of it, and to the north, east
and south there is a line of foothills sepa-
rating it from the Valley of the Sacra-
mento. Peasants creek rises in the south
end of the valley and flows north, and,
after being Joined by several small con-
fluents from the Coast Range, it joins the
Putah creek. This valley is narrow and
tortuous, and presents a more varied sur
face than either Lagunita or Vaca valley.
UPPER PCTAH BASIN.
North of Peasants valley is the basin of
the Upper Putah, which is made up of the
many small valleys in the foothills of the
Coast Range. This basin extends east and
west four or five miles, and north and south
eight or ten miles. 1t is abundantly wa
tered by the tributaries of the Putah,
which have their sources on the side of
the higher range. These tributaries are
clear, cold, mountain streams, and they
furnish an abundance of water for all pur-
poses. This district has tillable area. in
the valleys and on the surrounding hill
sides, of at least 10000 acres of land,
which has no superior, if it has any equal
on earth, for all fruit and vegetable grow
ing purposes.

PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES.
No party coming to this State to locate
should fail to visit these valleys before de-
Gliding where he will make his home.
There are just as good chances for new
comers to make fortunes here as there
were years ago. A fruit or vegetable farm
in the Vaca district is better than a gold
mine or any other mine. The country is
charmingly beautiful, and there is no spot
on this coast that is healthier. This is the
universal testimony of all authorities upon
this subject. 1t is safe to say that the
homeseeker will find the people as social,
refined and progressive as our country af-

CONCLUDING WORDS To INoUIRERs.
In conclusion, it may be said that all the
statements relating to the Vaca district
are easy of veriication, and are made from
observations upon the spot and upon the
authority of such well-known men as Col
onel A. NJ. Stevenson, Senators Buck and
W. B. Parker, e. n Platt, w. W. Smith,
the Bassfords, the Brincks, the Thissells,
and many Others O. n. Platt, real
estate dealer and agent for many valuable
properties around Vacaville, has in his
Office volume of facts concerning this
section, and he will furnish information to
all desiring it. If there is a person who
has doubt as to the unlimited possibili-
ties of this State, he should visit Vacaville
and Winters, and see the mequaled devel-
opments which have been made La

be said to be the valley gems Of this coast,

ter the settlement of Vaca and Pana,
John Wolfskill made settlement on Pu-
tab creek, near what is now the town of
Winters, He made most beautiful loca-
tion near the foothills, in Putah valley,
almost in the shadows of the Coast Range.
After the advent of the swarms of gold
seekers there were other settlers who came
in and made their homes in these valleys.
Among the earliest of these settlers, after
Mr.. Wolfskill, were Mason Wilson, r.
Miller and /. NJ. Pleasants, who settled in
Naca and Peasants valleys in 1850 and
1851, and in the years that followed to
1860 there were many more Americans
who came to those valleys, saw their
woNDRoUs BEAUTY AND FERTILITY,
And made themselves homes in which to
live and die. These additions to the set
tlement in these valleys went on slowly
but surely, till late in the SOS, when the
merits of the soil, climate and location for
fruit-growing were to some extent appre-
ciated, and then the accretion of popula-
ton and the development of the resources
were rapid. 1t was not till within the past
two years, however, that there was any
thing like a just appreciation of the pecu-
liar advantages enjoyed by the Vaca district.

TIE EARLY MATURITY


OF the fruit of this section IS another ad-
vantage, the importance of which it is
impossible to over-estimate. The bulk of
the earliest fruit and vegetables that 60
into the markets of this coast is grown in
the Naca district. There may be some
isolated instances of the shipment of early
fruits from other regions of the State, but
the fact remains that the producers Of this
district get fully ninety per cent. of all the
money realized from early fruit in the
State. 1t is well known that the differ
ence between early fruit and that four
weeks later, everything else being equal,
is enough to make the one producer rich
and give the other mere living The
prices OF cherries are an illustration of
this fact. The first ten-pound boxes of
cherries that reach our local markets
are taken very eagerly at S3 per box,
and these prices will rule for the first ten
days, when they will gradually fall to 81
per box, and from that, at the end Of four
weeks, to 90 or 60 cents per box. A cherry
tree producing 200 pounds of early cherries
would bring the producer at least $40.
The same quantity and quality of cherries
four weeks later would bring return. at

each tree. An acre of land has about 100
trees, and that would make difference of
S400 to the acre between early and late
fruit. 1t is safe to say that
THE PROFITS OF EARLY FRUIT,
Or, more properly speaking, of fruit pro
duced in early-maturing districts, is two or
three times as great as it is in districts
where the fruit natures three or four
weeks later. 1t must not be concluded
that this rule applies only to the first
fruit of the season. 1t is as true of all the
early fruit of each kind through the sea-
son. 1t is true of the first berries, cherries,
apricots, peaches, and the first of all other
kinds.

AMAD0R LAKE WATER.
Proposition to Conduct 1t to the Leading
Bay Cities.

A project Of somewhat gigantic preten-
sions, being no less that the supplying this
city and interior towns with water from the
Sierra, says the San Francisco Chr0T icie. is
being quietly put on its legs in this city
The affair is shrouded in secrecy, and
whether it is bona tide business enterprise
or merely another of those schemes from
which the Spring Valley Company has suf-
fered surface evidences do not make appar-
ent. However, some very high. sounding
names are mentioned in connection with it.
On last Saturday secret conference of
members of the Oakland Board of Trade
with the Mayor and other municipal Of
ficials was held to discuss the subject of
0akland's water supply.
W. ". Cameron, a prominent and we'll
known capitalist, representing the Board
ois Trade, opposed the suggestion of taking
any action as TO OaSland's water supply as
yet, and urged protracted deierment. He
then stated that a project was under way
10 bring water from the Sierra 10 San Fran
cisco, and quoted the names OF Senators
Stanford and Fair as hackers of the move
ment. He advised that no action should
be taken until this company announced it
self and then that Oakland should bond
itself in considerable amount TO the new
company. 1t is said that the statement
had weight with the Athenian officials,
and the water question has been laid on
the shelf temporarily.
The scheme eInanates from the Amador
and Tuolumne ditch companies The first
named of these ditch companies owns a
| large lake, located about twenty miles back
of the town of Sonora, and supplied by
large bitches. A manager OF this ditch
| company has been in the city for several
weeks exhibiting plans and estimates OF
the work. 1t is the proposition 10 tap this
lake by an iron pipe four feet IN diameter,
| smooth bore, and by it conduct the water
10 this city. The distance of the piping. it
is estimated, will be 120 miles, and the
route will lie down the foothills TO Stock
ton, thence practically along the railroad
! line through LivermOre pass to Niles. 1t
will then cross the foot of the bay and ap-
pear on this side at Redwood. from which
place connection will be made with this
city. 1t is a part Of the project 10 Law
branches to Oakland and San Jose. Esti-
mates upon the cost Of the work place the
figure at "a, Coo 600 for laying the pipes to
this city, besides 81 ,000,0 for the con
struction OF works III this city. The Sonora
lake has at present a supply of 25.000
inches of the freshest mountain water.
Efforts are being made to find capital that
will invest in the scheme. II is represented
that Oakland, San Jose and Stockton are
badly in need OF good fresh water, and
VIII be glad of the opportunity TO secure

upon TO offer some substantial encourage

EARLY HISTORY.
The Appearance and Conditions When
Early Settlers Took Possession.

L
The early history of this region takes us
back decade beyond the gold discovery
on this coast. The first European people
here were two Spanish gentlemen By the
name of Naea and Pana, who were rela-
tives Of one of the Governors of New
Mexico. They left Santa Fe in 1910 with
floating land grant of 1000 acres, and
prospected the whole country..through Ari-
soma and Southern California to this dis
trict. They found these sheltered valleys
and located their grant upon them. The
whole country was
COVERED WITH a GROWTH OF WILD OATS
As high as their horses backs or wide
rank and tangled growth of wild clovers.
There were four lasting streams Of water.
and tree growths ample for the shade of
stock. To them il seemed a paradise. and
it surely was one. They put up adobe
buildings, one of which is still standing as
n monument to commemorate the first
settlement Of the region. They bought
stock of their Spanish neighbors south of
them, and in the carly days of the gold era
they had great droves Of cattle and bands
of horses. They

And raised quite large quantities of grain

SOIL AND PRODUCTIONS.
Citrus and Deciduous Fruits and all Kinds
of Cereals Grown Most Politically

of Cereals Grown Most Politically.
The soil of the Vaca district is not only
warm and fertile, but is of almost une-
qualed depth. Everywhere, whether in
the valleys or on the hillsides, it is from
twelve TO twenty feet to the first subsoil.
The visitor sees the evidences OF the great
depth of the soil wherever he goes. All
the streams have cut through down to the
Subsoil or bedrock, and almost invariably
the stream beds are from twelve to twenty
feet below the surface. The rocks of the
hills and mountains surrounding these val
leys are sand and slate and the soil is a
mixture of these two rock formations, and
the decomposed vegetation of the sur
rounding elevations. 1t is, in fact, deep,
rich, sandy loan. There is no doubt that
a disinterested observer, after travelling
over the most fertile regions of the world,
would decide that the Vaca district has a
soil unexcelled by any of them, and IN
equaled by few of them.
VARIED PRODUCTIONS.
1t is safe to say that there is no other
region on earth that produces a greater
variety of products than the Naca district.
1t seems to be the home of nearly all the
productions of the north, temperate and
semi-tropic zones Wheat, barley and rye,
that love the cool climates of high alti-
tudes and ATTITUDES, do well here. The
millers Of this coast and Europe for more
than forty years have sought the wheat of
these valleys. And the brewers have been
just as eager to buy the barley. The cool
nights of this region seem to produce all
the cool climate productions to perfection.
BY the side Of the fields in which these
cereals are grown all kinds of
sEMI-TRoPIcAL PROJECTIONS
Flourish to perfection The orange,
lemon, olive. citron and pomegranate have
been produced here for quarter of CEN
tury, and the quantity and quality of the
product is excelled nowhere on earth.
But in the production of all kinds of de-
ciduous fruits the Naca district excels in
so marked degree There are no va
rieties of these fruits that are not grown
in surprising quantities and qualities
Apples, peaches, pears, plums, apricots.
nectarines, cherries, prunes, blackberries.
raspberries, Strawberries, gooseberries and
currants prove continuous and pro-
life bearers of all these fruits.
Figs, olives and ali kinds of grapes
find congenial home in all the
valleys of the Vaca district. Every kind
of grape that grows in Europe and Asia or
on the islands of the seas seem to find here
a congenial home. The almond, walnut.
iilbert and chestnut also hourishes here
and makes an
AMPLE RETURN To THE HUsBANDMAN
For all his toll. The dste palm has been
brought here from Asia and Africa, and it
seems to be as much at home as in
either of those grand divisions. 1t is diff
ficult to name a textile or food plant of
the temperate or semi-tropic belts that
does not do exceedingly well here.
